Stone cold walks out part 1 1/2 Oakland Ca. June 2002

[Allapattahgoon]

so was Stone Cold supposed to face Eddie?Or Chris Benoit at King of the Ring?

[Blade5276]

@Allapattahgoon He was supposed to face Eddie but Benoit just returned from an injury in which he was allegedly injured in a match many months earlier. It may have been a storyline Austin may or may not have been the cause of the injury but it was no doubt going to be a rivalry that would have Benoit seek retribution for Austin putting Benoit on the shelf for months. Benoit would have most likely interfered in the match costing Austin the win.

[TheVerge2011]

I got goosebumps when Benoit held the Horsemen sign at 5:40 and Flair smiles. Benoit was one of the best Horsemen ever along with Tully, Arn, and Windham.

[cburns1689]

RIP Eddie... but RIP Benoit? Ya Austin walked out on his job but Chris Benoit killed people.... man I miss the on stage performances of Austin, Guerrero and Benoit but Benoit isn't resting in peace

[Blade5276]

@cburns1689 I agree Benoit had such an illustrious career a guaranteed future hall of famer an entertainer to end them all and he kicked the teeth of everyone of his fans and the businesses down their throats I couldnt believe it I had so much respect for him his real life relationship with Eddie and Rey also that he cried so hard on national television when Eddie died I gained respect for him more then I did 3 fold just because I felt the love he had for his friend Then he became a ghoul

[jtray0926]

does anybody speak spanish? i wanna kno what eddie said to flair at 7:52

[m1k38706]

@jtray0926 He's saying, "You don't mess with my life, dude/asshole (depends how you use 'esse')! I'm gonna f*ck/mess you up!!"

[jtray0926]

@m1k38706 lol thank u. u made this video so much better to watch.

[Nordfelt]

My God I miss heel King.

[Blade5276]

@GoTWhisKeY Of course not smart guy Stone Cold walked out on the company off camera meaning that he didn't show up enter the ring and leave. This was the week after the monday night raw were he grabbed his wife and got on a plane and went home when he was supposed to show up for work. This was the Raw were the company addressed the walk out. Watch part one through three in my channel.

Oh and by the way FAIL and EPIC FAIL come on really? according to your profile your a grown ass man not twelve

[GoTWhisKeY]

@Blade5276

Yeah I didn't realize until after the comment what this video was really about. I wanted to see and hear Stone Cold walk out lol and this is what came up. Since your video description mentioned nothing about what this video is actually about, I was confused

[Blade5276]

@GoTWhisKeY This video is exactly what it says it is. Austin since he never walked out on camera this is all there is. But this video is really a side note to parts 1, 2 and 3 I initially cut this part due to the ten min. time limit. so I made it it's own video taken from the same night.

[CraigJericho]

This was a damn good storyline-Benoit,Guerrero & Austin.They both had reasons to take Austin but with Flair substituting it made it even better

[Brian112891]

When JR said "I'll be damned", I bawled like a baby.

R.I.P Eddie.

[donaldtwalker13]

i remember this

[boru25]

I wouldn't blame Steve Austin for walking out. Vince got his money and could treat his product and his employee's as he see's fit.

[akuma4u]

austin walked out the 2nd time because, correct me if im wrong, he didnt want to job to eddie guererro? 

[DanimalBr]

2002 was a very bad year for Stone Cold Steve Austin and Austin fans, me being one of them. First off, we were starting to see cracks in the popularity he had enjoyed during the attitude era. While he was still getting cheered, he wasn't getting the pops like he was in 98-99. People were starting to get tired of the beer slugging and the finger gestering. Similar to how Hogan's popularity started to crack in the early 1990's. <cont>

[DanimalBr]

Secondly, Austin began to lose his foothold as the top man of the company. Triple H returned from a quad injury and was now in a relationship with Steph, the Rock was enjoying huge popularity from his new movie career, and Hulk Hogan had returned to teh company. Suddenly Austin's position at the top of the food chain was being threatned. That year's wrestlemania saw him in a mid-card match for the first time since 1996.

[DanimalBr]

Third, you had this walk out and the fallout that happened from it. Upset with the direction that the WWE was heading, Austin no-showed this RAW in which he was suppose to be the main character around which the show was about. In the weeks to follow, a pissed off Vince McMahon aired segments on WWE programing in which he and Jim Ross berated Austin's behavior and ran him down.

[DanimalBr]

Finally, in June of 2002 Austin was involved in a domestic dispute with his then wife Deborah who was found by police at their home with bruises on her. He was arrested for domestic violence in August and later pleaded no contest.

2002 was certainly a low point for Austin and his fans.

[Blade5276]

@DanimalBr the Episode featured in this video was from the week after Stone Cold no-showed. I was there for this show. I have all the highlights from this storyline and show on my channel If you havent seen them yet. check it out.

[LinJapanese]

my spanish is lacking... what did Eddie scream at Flair @7:52?

[LinJapanese]

@LinJapanese and @2:12 the way the king picks on JR for standing up was funny as hell... the way he laughed at him... he was tickled to death because he knew that JR was going to be happy that he changed his mind and actually showed up...

[mohammed316]

the whole crowd just stood up when austins music hit, farkn crazy.

[Blade5276]

Your absolutely right I was one of them. I was sitting next to the ramp.

[akuma4u]

@Blade5276 yo, what was the reason behind austin walking out for the 2nd time and when did it happen? was it cuz he didnt want to job to Goldberg?

[Blade5276]

@akuma4u Close they wanted him to lose to Brock Lesner which he didnt mind but he wanted to build it up and have it climax at a ppv. the company wanted him to lose to Brock in low profile match.

[akuma4u]

@Blade5276 well i dont disagree with austin there, they couldve made more money off that match while still saving austins value if it was at a ppv,. now i know austin walked out twice,. one after WM18 and the other when he didnt want to job to brock,. this video here is the walk out after mania 18, do u have the link or video for the 2nd walk out please message me with it thanks

[Blade5276]

@akuma4u This was the second walk out. The first was the day after WM. That was kept quite, Austin was given a two week suspension. The second time was the very week before this show (I was there that night) & instead of showing up for work he took his wife Debra and got on a plan and went home. They couldnt forgive this second contract breach. I will send you a link of my video's of this whole night if you have it seen them yet.

[redwingsguy96]

After everything that had gone down I remember I almost pissed myself when Austin's music hit, terrible tease by Guerrero lol

[tnatna123456isback]

wwe was never right after that

[tnatna123456isback]

this is great footage i remember when stone cold left i was my omfg no way. then in the wwe magazine i have the one with the picture of stone cold with his what t shirt but instead it says why?. at that time i was in tears that he left

[tnatna123456isback]

he got me too

[BrockSucks]

Also Stone Cold did say that he would have jobbed to Brock with more buildup, HOWEVER everyone knows damn well that Stone Cold would never job to Brock.

It would be a cold day in hell before Brock ever deserved to get a win over Stone Cold. Brock got a huge push from day 1 and didn't ever deserve to wrestle Austin let alone get a win.

Stone Cold worked so hard to accomplish what he did, Brock didn't do anything special. Brock couldn't even cut a promo, he was just "big".

[45Yankeeclipper]

@BrockSucks I honestly think fans take this whole "Refusing to put people over" thing too seriously. Austin did the right thing. Why is he going to put some one over in one match with no build up or anything that sounds like a Typical TNA Booking right there. If he would of done that, Who would take him seriously? Austin, the guy that fought all the big guys in the WWE and then lose to a rookie in one match?

[JMBeer7]

does sum1 have this RAW?

[Blade5276]

yes in its entirety.

[BrockSucks]

Now I watched every single WWF Attitude Era episode from 1997 to 2000 and then I slowly tapered off from watching the shows because they began to suck more and more.

WWE today just keeps getting worse and worse. It has really sucked since from around 2003 to present.

Anyhow, Did Brock come out to the ring and then Stone Cold just didn't come out to the ring? or did they announce that Stone Cold wasn't going to wrestle Brock on Raw early in the night?

[Blade5276]

Austin actually walked the raw the week b4 this 1 As I recall Brock feud never made it to screen. because what went on the week b4 he walked was a match with SA & Flair If Flair lost he would be Austins personal servant for the next raw he won but the other part never happened because he took Debra & left That raw went on as normal only briefly mentioning he never showed up. Then this raw came where they told the whole story I think with Brock and the stupid servant storyline Austin was fed up

[Hperman09]

The reason why Austin walk out of company on purpose because the bad storylines presented by the creative team like feuding with Guerrero while later was going to feud with Brock Lesnar. Austin does not want to lost to the rookie like Brock Lesnar for example and walk out. This was his last time as a full active wrestler.

[Blade5276]

Austin didnt mind losing to Lesner he just didnt want to lose to him when it was such a low profile match. Stone Cold wanted to lose to him at a hyped up ppv event.

[Hperman09]

so you think so or you got the infor from wwe? just wondering.

[EdgeRIP24]

R.I.P eddie and benoit

[blanne07]

thats true blade,you have tyo honour your own,yes he werent with the company when it happened,but you can bet that it was because he used to be we the company that he was bang on the roids/drugs,cause there under pressure to keep there spots,no spot=no money!!!

[blanne07]

I know,how sad is that,i think they found him at home/hotel after suffering massive heart attack!!!

It is happening so often now,this wellness policy that wwe have is just utter shit,and the fact wwe are saying they wnt nothink to do with andrew"test"martin is discraceful...shame on you vinnie mac!!!

[Blade5276]

Yeah when I found out that the wwe did not honor his career on television or the website (which they did but quickly took it down) is disrespectful to his career and disgraceful to the business in general. Just like the army when a soldier falls you honor his memory!

[viciouscanadianvixen]

um, vince gladly pays for rehab IF THE WRESTLER COMES TO HIM AND ASKS FOR THE HELP! it doesn't matter what kind of substance abuse problem a person has, if you're not ready for help, it can be forced on you but it won't do any good unless the addict themselves wants it! talk to any recovered addict of any kind and they'll tell you the same!

[Blade5276]

Your right but that is not what I was talking about.

[viciouscanadianvixen]

oh sorry...it was nothing against you. i think i hit the wrong "reply" on the post!

[blanne07]

just think 2/3 men in that very ring are dead now,how mad is that!!!!!

these wrestlers have a very shart life dont they,roids and drugs not a good combo!

[Blade5276]

did you hear that TEST died?

[blanne07]

whoooooooooooooo

[iseeredpeoples]

love eddie

[wwedxfan]

wow was just going to ask if anyone had this thx
